We got up early Thursday morning to
drive to the coast. On the way we
saw lots of beautiful farm land. 
We saw lots of artichokes being harvested,
and strawberries that were just starting
to ripen, and even dill fields.
We stopped at a farm stand and
had some fresh picked strawberries
for breakfast. They were great!

Onward we go to the west, finally reaching Monterey.
We went to the Monterey Aquarium, and then
wandered around Cannery Row for a while,
before heading up the coast.

After our shopping expedition, in which
I found a great lighthouse picture and
a retro-hula metal box for
my Hawaii hula collection, we headed up
Highway One to watch the sun set over the ocean.
We hoped to make it to Half Moon Bay for the
sunset, but a traffic accident held us up for 
almost an hour, so we got to the Bay just after sunset,
but got some pretty pictures anyway.
On the way we stopped to take pictures
of the Pidgeon Point Lighthouse.
